[expert] Cant Delete File
Hello, I am hoping someone can give me some advice on how to delete a file. Apparently the directory /usr/local/netscape/chrome/ got hosed and it shows up as a 2.2gb file and not a directory any longer. EXT3 file system, file system check shows no problem. The file shows OWNER: 35327 and I can not create a user that starts with a number to delete it that way. GROUP: 3277717500 (kde) -10172497 (midnight commander) this may just be how shell and kde display the number (signed number??) I added both of these groups and added root to both groups and I still cant do anything with the file. Any Suggestions?? Thank You Jack Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Switched from a Linksys to a D-Link. My problem came with the persistence of Hotplug in that it kept loading the module for the linksys system, and refusing to load the module for the d-link. I had to remove all mention of their ever being a linksys card. Reboot the box (out of frustration more than anything.) and then re-insert and things started to work. I've also learned on Toshiba and compaq, that if you have wired + wireless, configure the wireless first then insert the wired and configure it. (so it's eth1) then whenever I use wireless I have to insert both cards, so that the wired card gets detected as eth1 not eth0. This seems to be a function of hardware not software as other boxes tend to divide by slot not by how many are inserted. (Yes on my compaq if I remove the first card I inserted the second card get switched from eth1 to eth0) Advantage here. He has/had nothing configured. No legacy to destroy.

Look at how the kde menue calls it, then do an strace the same way from the command line. For example from the command line I do mozilla but the MDKKDE menu calls soundwrapper mozilla (or something like that.) so if soundwrapper where bad or having trouble with mozilla it wouldn't show when I run it from the command line.

[expert] Gnome Panel Segfaults
I'm running Mandrake 9.2 (RC2 updated daily with Cooker), and somehow managed to mess up Gnome Panel. When I click on the Gnome Menu button, it segfaults and after a Segfault error message, it restarts. I was able to create a new user account and everything works fine there. So it must be a config. file in my home directory. Does anyone know which one? Any help would be appreciated. -- Brian Craft Yahoo Instant Messenger ID: bcraft67 AIM: linuxman67 Website: http://userdata.acd.net/javaman67/ Linux..the OS of Choice!

[expert] ML9.1: SysV-Init Editor crashes with KUniqueApplication: DCOP communication error
Mandrake Linux 9.1: KDE3.1: kdeadmin-3.1-8mdk: ksysv An editor for System V startup schemes: SysV-Init Editor SysV-Init Editor crashes everytime when I want to start it up. When I start it in Konsole i get this error message ERROR: KUniqueApplication: DCOP communication error! I remember having this problem also in ML8.2, but then some day SysV-Init Editor in ML8.2 started working and still works without problem in ML8.2. But in ML9.1 the problem is persistent. I searched with Google but have no solution found, this bug has also been reported at http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37123 but no solution yet. In Mandrake Linux drakxservices is used to set the services, but I liked the program SysV-Init Editor to compare the different runlevels. vatbier Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I know that for several months here in Toronto no one was receiving mail from the Toronto LUG list. After many frustrating interactions with the big ISP here, Sympatico, it turned out they were blocking all TLUG list mail. I did not do the "interacting" myself, so I don't know the whole story. I would recommend at least checking with the ISP in question since it seems at least contemporaneous with the problem at hand, could be just coincidence, but you never know. BTW, we never did get an answer as to why Sympatico was blocking the TLUG mail. -- HaywireMac Registered Linux user #282046 Homepage: www.orderinchaos.org ++ Mandrake HowTo's & More: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org ++ Wisdom is knowing what to do with what you know. -- J.
